A True Family Holiday

Find Your Home for the Holidays

For some of us, Christmas means family.

And for some of us, it means the family we choose.

Carrie, newly arrived in Atlanta and seeking her fortune, longs for someone to appreciate her.

Edward, a loving friend, takes Carrie under his fabulous wing.

Both find a true family to help celebrate the holiday by celebrating each other.

An excerpt from A True Family Holiday:

“Hey, Edward. You already close out Cosmetics?” Carrie finished counting her drawer. The cash went into a bank bag with the count sheet, and she carried it toward the manager’s office.

“Yeah, like half an hour ago,” Edward said walking with her. “The rabble stayed away after seven-thirty or so. The sample spritzers got a little too dedicated this evening. It got so bad I had to toss my contact lenses. I wouldn’t strike a match anywhere near the perfume counter if I was you. You’ve got it lucky up here in teeny-bopper clothing.”

She laid the bank bag on a growing pile in the boss’s office, and walked with Edward through the back to the employee’s door. All she wanted was some greasy fast food, a nice cup of chamomile tea with a bourbon bracer, and bad movies in bed.
